One shot
Pre-Breaking Dawn, NO spoilers. :D
I just randomly wrote this while awaiting Breaking Dawn. This is my first Twlight Fic.
R&R would be nice.
There had to be a heaven. Edward surely was proof of that.
We lay in our meadow side by side, hand in hand. I felt the icy cold of his fingertips and it was oddly comfortable. The sun's rays were warm on my skin all along my body and as I glanced over at him, my breath caught as it always did when I looked at him. Especially now, as the sunlight glimmered upon his body. A sparkle there, a sprinkle here. Suddenly he turned to me and my heart beat ten times its normal speed. You would think I would be used to him by now. I don't think I would ever get used to this. We lay there for a long time, or maybe no time at all. With Edward, I never counted minutes, only treasured them. I tried not to think about our impending wedding, but I found my thoughts drifting from one to another. The wedding, as Alice has told me many times, would be very, very, very, soon. She told me she had everything under control, but I couldn't help but worry.
How do they expect me to actually go through with this? Isn't it obvious I am madly, deeply, head over heels in love with Edward? But this is what Edward wants, and in exchange I get what I want. Which is him. ALL of him.
I smile to myself once again glad that he can't read my mind.
As a slight breeze picks up I close my eyes and let it wash over me. My thoughts drifting again, I think about Jacob, with a pang of sadness. Jacob, my best friend and my own personal sunshine. I can't imagine my life without him. When the transformation is complete, what will happen then? Despite what everyone thinks, including him, I will honestly try my hardest to not let this get between us.
I mean, after all that has happened between myself, the Cullens and the Blacks it should only show that nothing is impossible.
As I think this I feel Edward move beside me. My eyes flutter open, and I see that he is leaning on his elbow. He smiles slightly as he leans in and gives me a peck on the lips. I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him close, as he wraps one arm around my waist and pulls me on top of him. I let myself melt into his cold, marble-like body. I feel him intertwine our hands and I feel some pressure on one of my fingers.
"I love you." He breathes into my ear.
I lift my hand to rustle through his hair, and I catch a glimpse of another sparkle. His mother's ring is on my finger.
"I love you too, Edward." I say. I pull back an inch or so, and study his face. His features hard but his expression soft. He too, is studying my face.
"What's the matter, Bella?"
I didn't realize my fretting showed.
I shook my head and merely said: "Jacob..."
Edward's face hardened but he understood.
"Don't worry, he'll come around. He cares about you very much."
I looked at his face and waited for the bitterness to come back, but it didn't. His face was sincere.
"Are you sure?"
"No. But i'm hopeful. As much as I hate to say it. He makes you happy, Bella. If you're happy, i'm happy." He smiled and I felt my heart melt.
He leaned in to kiss me.
I assumed it was a distraction, but I'd take this numbness and forget the pain and everything i'll be leaving behind, even if it was only for a few minutes...
